French Pension Reform Ruling Sparks Controversy and Protests.

France's Constitutional Council will rule on Friday on the constitutionality of President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform proposal, which includes raising the retirement age from 62 to 64. The Council may accept the bill in its entirety, alter aspects of it, or reject it entirely. The Council will also rule on the possibility of holding a public referendum that could stop the pension reform. Regardless of the decision, France is likely to see more upheaval over the reforms in the weeks to come.
